Like the many other programs of its general kind, Curio tries to sell itself with a new-agey pitch about transforming your brain, or something. But really the point is just that it's surprisingly helpful to be able to spread out an entire intellectual project, and everything connected to it, on an enormous table. Curio lets you do this very well, making the results look good with minimal effort on your part. And the amount of additional structure you impose on your stuff is, within a very wide range, up to you. So I use it for writing lecture notes and calculations (with a Wacom graphics tablet), for maintaining a scrapbook of current research in my field, and for brainstorming in my own research projects.

Wow! I'm surprised more people don't use this and haven't commented on it. It's really a great app, and for the price, it blows the Omni stuff out of the water. I use it to take notes at meetings with my clients, diagram out story/plot lines, etc. It's a slick piece of software.

This is a great app! My main use to date has been to build tutorials for myself when I'm learning new things. For example, I spent a lot of time using Eclipse to learn JSPs and other J2EE technologies with JBoss. Getting all the versions of the various tools and examples to mesh is a challenge, so I make notes, clip URLs, and save screenshots and output logs in Curio so I can remember how to get things working.

How does this compare to iSale?

An iSale 3 convert here, for eBay UK users GarageSale is heads and shoulders above the competition - if only I knew that before spending $25 more on eBay clients than I needed to.

Much easier to use than iSale. Nice templates and good post-auction functionality.

What a great product- I've done the occasional ebay auction over the years, but I've started using this and have earned a couple hundred bucks selling old items around the house- interface, usability, and incredibly professional look of the templates makes it a breeze. And, I think when you are relatively new and have low feedback scores, the professional look of the auctions helps people's confidence in what you are selling.

I love the simplicity... and the backups work out fine... except I have recurring restore problems... it always quits with some type of overflow error, and then I have to restore by hand.

This is shareware, not freeware; CD/DVD burning capabilities are only available if you've paid for it.

I use BackityMac to transfer my Mail.app folders to many computers. Very handy.

If you got .MAC you can also use "BACKUP", which lets you save via QuickPicks - nice and simple and if you have .MAC then you can download BACKUP for free from the .MAC Website

I just can't understand a company that has been in the mac business so long hasn't made this a Universal Binary... what's up with that?

This software no longer serves a purpose. Applications distributed in .sit format should be banned from this site entirely.

Well the lack of password-protected archive support in Mac OS X is annoying

buggy and unreliable, in desperate need of a drop in replacement.
